Today seems like it’s going to be a great day for Lonely Island fans, and that’s because the comedy trio’s movie has gone into production.

Universal Pictures announced on Thursday that the Lonely Island film, currently billed as the Top Secret Untitled Lonely Island Movie, begins principal photography this week. Little is known about the actual film—hence the “top secret” part—and whether any part of it will take place on a boat or feature Jack Sparrow.

What is known, however, is that the film will star Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone. Top Secret Untitled Lonely Island Movie will be co-directed by Schaffer and Taccone and produced by Judd Apatow.

The only plot details you oughta look out for are that the movie will be set in the world of music, which will presumably open things up for plenty of cameos from musicians like “Shy Ronnie” mainstay Rihanna and Reba McEntire (the real or Kenan Thompson versions).

“Not to be hyperbolic, but we are seriously zazzed about this movie,” The Lonely Island said collectively in a statement.

No release date has been set, but Universal will release the film worldwide.
